Sorted the brake light issue and created a new one........they're now a bit spongy 
stupid hydraulic brake switch system!
So tomorrows plan......put the new rad hose on, bleed the brakes, fit the new exhaust manifolds and possibly adjust the brakes now that I know how to oh and tighten up the handbrake, I'm sure if I take the gap down from 3mm to about 1mm I'll have a nice handbrake that'll hold me on any hill

This thread needs more tinkering pictures, not black and white beauty shots! (Although a few of those are nice sometimes...)

What modifications need making?

A lot! Due to the chassis design the manifold can only really go out the back and straight down......now I don't like this as it means the pipe has to be that bull**** sized 1.25" so what I've done is cut the pipes all off the collector and I'm going to modify their length so I can bring them forward and move the collector to the front of the block (unlike on the S3 this cant just be done by cutting the collector and welding it at 90*) clockwise. Essentially what I have at the minute is a series of four flanges, the rear two on the passenger side are fine but the front two due to the chassis design have to be rotated 90* clockwise first before doing extending and welding to the collector at another 90*clockwise from where it used to be
So what I'm doing is using flexi pipe to extend each them to the length required before welding back to the collector
Just need to get some flexi and stainless welding rods to complete it
